Quiet, Fast, Affordable 1TB Seagate Internal Hard Drive

I got this Seagate internal hard drive in a Revain Goldbox deal at a great price of $46.99 to get. The $47-$60 price range is very good for a 1TB hard drive that's also 7200rpm and 6Gbps. So far I've experienced faster downloads and data transfers after about a week of use. It's only been a week, but in a few months I'll let you know if the drive is working fine or failing (hopefully I don't have to tell you all the failures). Personally, I used this plate as an extra. Hard drive for my PC. I installed Windows 7 on a Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB SATA 3Gb/s 7200rpm 16MB Hard Drive with Bulk/OEM Desktop Cache - WD5000AAKS. I install programs, games and add movies like an extra hard drive so I can boot up my PC quickly. If you are having trouble installing this hard drive as a secondary drive, here are the instructions on how I did it: 1) Connect the sata power adapter and sata cable before turning on the PC. 2) Boot into BIOS to make sure your PC can read it 3 ) If your computer boots up and reads the disc, everything is fine. The horror of 931 GB of memory. If you don't already see a Seagate drive, please update it with the Seagate firmware for this product. Here is the link: [.] 4) After the firmware update is complete (it may require a reboot), locate Disk Management or refer to the "Create or format disk partitions" section under the "Management" section. From there you should see a 1TB Seagate hard drive. You should now be able to format your hard drive and you're done. Basically I'm satisfied so far. It's very quiet for a 1TB 7200rpm hard drive.
